Abstract

A questionnaire was designed to cover the areas of systems analysis and design (SAD) which staff in Northern Ireland currently work on, the extent of training the person has had in those areas, and there assessment of the adequacy of any training given. The questionnaire was distributed to both commercial firms and to the civil service. The total replies were 150 - civil service(104), non-civil service(46). The survey showed that training in SAD was concentrated in certain areas - those such as systems and data modeling. Other areas such as interview techniques and sampling of documents are not equally as well covered in training. Student assessment of the training provided varied significantly. The ease with which certain aspects of SAD training courses can be developed as opposed to others is discussed and the important imbalance in the coverage of training provisioned is highlighted.
